ToF is fantastic for a scrapper, makes you the AV fighting king, but as a brute not really that handy, it stops people hitting you.

That doesn't matter.
Fury is generated each time you attack or are attacked, it's irrelevant whether those attacks hit or miss either way.

Thanks guys.

I rolled a dark/dark brute last night to try it out, seems pretty good so far, but having never played these powersets before, I don't know much about the powers themselves.

Can anyone please tell me which powers are considered as indespensible and which are best avoided on both the primary and secondary powersets please?

So far I've only got to level 5 and I have Smite, Shadow Maul, Death Shroud and Murky Cloud. I want to be sure (as far as possible) that I build this character well from the start though hence asking so early.

As the thread title says though, I'm only really interested in PvE.

Any advice appreciated!

Dammit!
Really really sorry for not showing up. I slept right through my alarm... Only woke up half an hour ago.

I hope you did manage to get a team together and all went well.

Got space for a level 37 bubble defender there?

(btw which one's Numina? Is she the one in Williams Square, Founders Falls?)

Hehehe... Those are great.
Are they real sites? Are they what you've said they are or something more sinister? I can't click them myself as I'm at work atm.

Maneuver, Tactics shouldnt work on your pets either when PFF is up, only on you. (99% sure about that)

Correct, I have all the Leadership powers on my FF Defender and if I turn PFF on then I will still get the Leadership buffs, but the rest of my team will not.

I opened up Leadership for the extra defense dispersion bubble would have given me,

If it's a choice of one or the other, I would definitely take Dispersion Bubble over Maneuvers.
The bubble has higher defence and resistance to disorient, sleep, fear, hold and immobilise, whereas Maneuvers only has fear resistance and a lower defence bonus than the bubble.

If you can take both then do so though, as that will still allow you to get Tactics.
